can you use the coffee maker without the filter?

You can remove the gold-tone filter and use a regular paper cone filter instead. I have been doing it this way for months.

Yes, take out the plastic holding the carbon filter to filter water. Definitely use a filter in the coffee basket when making the coffee.

You can choose to use the filter however it works without itt, just a bit of coffee ground is found in the bottom

Hello, this coffee maker has removable cup, no filters needed but it's very different to one I just to had, this one has a plastic lid that I don't know how it goes and the only time that I used all coffee grounds come inside the coffee, oh well I guess I need the manual.M.

You can but you'll want to cut about 1/2" off the top of the filter. Otherwise the top of the filter folds in and coffee grinds get into your coffee.

No filter that I know of. Try running it with vinegar to clear it out as it says in the paperwork that came with the coffee maker.

Yes, I do. I can just pick up the used filter and throw I in the trash. When you don't use a paper filter some of the coffee grinds stay in the filter and you have to rinse it out in the sink and will clog the drain. So I use the paper filters. Also and my little coffee ot didn't come with a basket filter.

Yes, you can. If you like the taste of the water from your refrigerator, go for it! These filters are optional.

No, there is no water filter that I am aware of, just the water reservoir. The instructions recommend using filtered water for the best taste, but we use tap water and the coffee tastes just fine. About the only problem I have noticed....and it's an annoyance, but not a deal breaker.....if I make more than a couple of cups, I have to hold the "brew" button down for a few seconds in order to make the unit start the cycle again. Other than that, nothing.

No, filtered water is not required. I've been using plain tap water - and the filter that came with this great coffee maker and fits on top of the coffee basket.. Think I will buy more of those filters when time runs its course on this one (I believe its use is for one month). Hope you enjoy your Mr. Coffee Maker as much as I'm enjoying mine.

No, this machine has a permanent filter that can be removed and emptied/cleaned. I make coffee then dump the filter, rinse and it is ready for the next use. This machine is a great buy if you enjoy ground coffee or tea.

For the short time I used this coffeemaker, I used it without the filter. My home water is filtered by a better system than any coffeemaker filter could provide, so I wouldn't buy any coffeemaker that insists on using their filter as a condition for the appliance working.

I haven't had to use filters. I find that little or any coffee grounds escape the basket.

I have filter on my tap water and there is a filter in the coffee maker. There is to much junk in plain tap water in my house so I wouldn't use tap

No need for a filter. Just put in the coffee, close the lid, and pop it into the brewer.

Not physically possible to remove the entire coffee unit, but if you do not wish to use the coffee maker just don't switch it on. You can use all other appliances separately at your own discretion.

We don't. We just use regular filters, bulk package we actually picked up at the dollar store. My husband LOVES this coffee maker.
